EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT!!!

Is it normal to scream over an email in the middle of your kitchen? Because I did.

Let me set the scene for you. It was an ordinary day. I had been at rehearsal for nine and a half hours. Yes, you read that right. Nine and a half hours. Why do I do this to myself? No clue. I hadn't had wifi all day, so upon walking inside, I started to check all of the notifications on my phone that had piled up throughout the day. I aimlessly hit my email, not really paying much attention, as my mind was focused on more important things, like food. But as the emails popped up, one in particular caught my attention.

It was from my good friend, Kate Emmons. Y'all, I love this girl. She is the absolute coolest. She blows my mind. Anyways, I was excited to see her name pop up, and clicked on the email.

For those of you who don't know, Burning Youth is a blog collaborative run by some of the most incredible girls that I know. They are creative and brilliant and full of so much inspiration, it's crazy. I've been obsessed with Burning Youth ever since Kate and Abbie created it, and when they invited me to become a contributor, I nearly died. Thus, I started screaming over an email in the middle of my kitchen. My family was slightly concerned.

My first post went up today, and it's one that I like a lot. It's about perfection and "failure", and about taking on the crazy chaos that is life. I'd really love if you would read it- you can find it here.

While you're over there, I'd really appreciate it if you'd follow along. I'm so honored to be joining these amazing girls, and I hope you'll stick around to read!

DUDE, I read this and I was over here with salt water stinging my eyeballs. :') Grace Anne, you are one of the most positive, bright & beautiful souls I've ever had the privilege of knowing; you are always spreading joy and good vibes. Never stop! Keep shining His light. And Abbs and I are thrilled to have you in the BY fam!! <3
